Amur leopard cat, Russia

Descripción

The leopard cat is a small wild cat found across South, Southeast and East Asia. Similar in size to a house cat but longer-legged and slenderer, it generally measures 38–66 centimetres long, with a tail about 17–31 centimetres. Depending on the region, adults weigh roughly 0.55–7 kilograms. Their appearance varies widely: southern individuals tend to have warm golden coats, while those farther north often have pale grey fur that thickens for winter.
